Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder caused due to insulin deficiency. Banana flower is a rich source of flavonoids that exhibit anti diabetic activity. Insulin receptor is a tetramer that belongs to a family of receptor tyrosine kinases. It contains two alpha subunits that form the
In this paper, a new and facile method for the electrochemical determination of l-tyrosine was designed. First, 3-mercaptopropyl trimethoxysilane-functionalized silica nanoparticles were added to a paper disc. Then, the banana peel tissue and the mediator potassium hexacyanoferrate were dropped onto
In the present work, we report on a rapid and straightforward approach for the determination of biologically active compounds in bananas applying microchip electrophoresis (MCE). For this purpose, we applied label-free detection utilizing deep UV fluorescence detection with excitation at 266 nm.
An acid phosphatase (APase, EC 3.1.3.2) from ripened banana (Musa cavendishii L. cv. Cavendish) fruit has been purified 1,876-fold to electrophoretic homogeneity and a final p-nitrophenylphosphate (pNPP)-hydrolyzing specific activity of 745 micromol Pi produced (mg protein)(-1) min(-1).
Shoot and callus cultures of banana ( Musa sp.) were analyzed for the accumulation of L-DOPA. Treatment of cultures with L-tyrosine and L-phenylalanine yielded higher levels of DOPA compared to those in control cultures without any treatment. Among the two amino acids, phenylalanine induced higher
Banana is an essential food resource in many tropical and subtropical countries. Metabolites in banana greatly influence its nutritional value and flavor. However, metabolic changes that occur in different developmental stages have not been comprehensively evaluated. In this study, widely targeted
Edible portions of bananas contain high levels of polyphenol oxidase, which catalyzes reactions in the melanin formation pathway. Tyrosine, a physiological substrate of polyphenol oxidase, has an analogous structure to acetaminophen. We investigated whether banana extract causes structural changes
The present study deals with the transformation of L-tyrosine to L-dopa by Acremonium rutilum, a fungal tyrosinase producer, isolated from decomposed banana stud. This appears to be the first report on A. rutilum as a polyphenoloxidase producer with both cresolase and catecholase activity. Enriched
A lectin from the hemolymph of the banana shrimp Fenneropenaeus merguiensis was purified by affinity chromatography on a fetuin-agarose column following by gel filtration on a Superose-12 column. The native molecular mass of purified F. merguiensis lectin (FmL) determined by gel filtration was 316.2
Ultrasonic assisted alkaline extraction of protein from banana flower was optimized using response surface methodology. The extracted proteins were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and molecular weight distribution was determined by gel electrophoresis. The maximum protein
The Bin-Amphiphysin-Rvs (BAR) domain family of proteins includes groups which promote positive (classical BAR, N-BAR, and F-BAR) and negative (I-BAR) membrane deformation. Of these groups, the F-BAR subfamily is the most diverse in its biochemical properties. F-BAR domain proteins dimerize to form a
Twenty one isolates of Pseudomonas solanacearum E. F. Smith, which does not occur on hosts other than potato in Egypt, obtained from diseased potato tubers, were collected from different localities in Egypt and used in this study. These 21 isolates were found pathogenic to potato plants, but they
A newly series of 4-(phenylurenyl)chalcone (4a-j) and 4'-(phenylurenyl/thiourenyl)chalcone (9a-l) derivatives were synthesized and their inhibitory effects on the diphenolase activity of banana tyrosinase were evaluated. Tyrosinase has been purified from banana on an affinity gel comprised of
Synthesis of carbazole substituted chalcone urea derivatives and their polyphenol oxidase enzyme activity effects on the diphenolase activity of banana tyrosinase were evaluated. Tyrosinase has been purified from banana on an affinity gel comprised of Sepharose 4B-L-tyrosine-p-aminobenzoic acid. The
